A program to rip audio to a RAW file


Hi,
I have been battling for days/weeks now to try and find out how to extract a track from an audio cd and dump it into a raw file. I did it but its not doing it correctly. Its for a cource project that I'm doing at university. My project is finished but for an extra 10% I have to write a CD dumper.
When I run it through my RAW-audio-file player, all I hear is high pitched garbage sound. I know that my player works because I used a raw file created by cdda2wav and it worked 100%!

So I have a few questions:
* What are the sampling rate, channels, and bits that I can expect when I call the "ioctl(cd, CDROMREADRAW, &msf);" function?
* What mode should I use to read data from a track?
cdrom.h gives me the following (from what I know):
CDROMREADRAW
CDROMREADMODE1
CDROMREADMODE2
* What should I do to the data read from the CD-Rom to be in the AFMT_S16_BE format? I have tried all the formats to play my raw audio but none works.

Sorry for all the questions but I really can't find anything on the web about this. I hope some of you can help me.

Here is my code for dumping the audio:

Code:
struct track_info *tr;
struct cdrom_msf msf;

char buffer[CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW];

int track_index;
int total_frames;	//How many (CD_FRAME_SIZE) frames are going to be needed to read in a whole track.
int i;
int progress_cur;
int progress_total;

.
.
.

//Now we have obtain the necessary information
//about the track we wish to retrieve and work
//out how many FRAMES are going to be needed
//to write out that track to the RAW file.
tr = getTracksInfo();
	
total_frames = tr[track_index].end_min * CD_SECS * CD_FRAMES + tr[track_index].end_sec * CD_SECS + tr[track_index].end_frame;
	
total_frames -= tr[track_index].offset_min * CD_SECS * CD_FRAMES + tr[track_index].offset_sec * CD_SECS + tr[track_index].offset_frame;
	
msf.cdmsf_min0 = tr[track_index].offset_min;
msf.cdmsf_sec0 = tr[track_index].offset_sec;
msf.cdmsf_frame0 = tr[track_index].offset_frame;

progress_total = total_frames / 20;
progress_cur = progress_total;

printf("Starting...\n");

//Start reading in and writing out frames
for(i = 0; i < total_frames; ++i)
{
	readData(&msf, buffer, CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW);
	
	fwrite(buffer, sizeof(char) * CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW, 1, fp);
	
	++msf.cdmsf_frame0;
	++progress_cur;
	
	if(progress_cur >= progress_total)
	{
		progress_cur = 0;
		
		printf("%.2f%% complete...\n", i / (float)total_frames * 100.0f);
	}
	
	if(msf.cdmsf_frame0 >= CD_FRAMES)
	{
		msf.cdmsf_frame0 = 0;
		
		++msf.cdmsf_sec0;
		
		if(msf.cdmsf_sec0 > CD_SECS)
		{
			msf.cdmsf_sec0 = 0;
			
			++msf.cdmsf_min0;
		}
	}
}

----------

void readData(struct cdrom_msf *msf, char *buffer, int frame_size)
{
	ioctl(cd, CDROMREADRAW, &msf);
	
	memcpy(buffer, msf, sizeof(char) * frame_size);
}

----------

struct track_info
{
	int offset_sec;
	int offset_min;
	int offset_frame;
	int len_sec;
	int len_min;		//You'd be interrested in the len_* fields!
	int len_frame;
	int end_sec;
	int end_min;
	int end_frame;
	BOOL music_track;	//If false, it has to be a data track
};

I came accross this (well I modified it a bit to fit into my app) from some other guy's cdplayer (although his RAW playing also doesn't work):

Code:
if(!startDevice())
{
    printf("Couldn't start device! Provably missing a CD.\n");
    closeDevice();
    
    return 1;
}

block_read.addr.lba=1;
block_read.addr_format=CDROM_LBA;
block_read.nframes=1;
block_read.buf=buffer;

s = open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY);

if(s == -1)
{
    printf("Error opening sound device.\n");
    closeDevice();
    
    return 1;
}

while(1)
{
    readData(&block_read, CDROMREADAUDIO);
    
    //fwrite(buffer, 1, CDROMREADAUDIO, fp);
    write(s, buffer, CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW);
    
    block_read.addr.lba++;
    
    if(block_read.addr.lba == 10000)
        break;
}
(I just added the "if(block_read.addr.lba == 10000)" to the while loop, wasn't part of the code which I got from the other cdplayer)

The strange thing is, it works on my friends pc but not on mine!
Any ideas?
We both have AMD 64-bit PCs with 1GB of ram but the rest of our specs differ. I can tell you what I have but I don't know what he has. Also both of us are running SuSE 10.0

For those who are interrested, I got it to work... FINALLY! Thank the Lord!

Take the code above and just add the sampling rate, bits and channels before reading data from the CD. Sampling Rate = 44100, Bits = 16, Channels = 2.
Also don't change the sound format, ie. don't change it from the default Unsigned 8 format.
